Hair Test For Methamphetamine
UpdatedIf someone took anywhere between .5 to a gram of methamphetamine to a gram (orally), over a 90 day period, will that show up on a hair test for pre employment?

A Hair Drug Test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. If you didn't do more than you stated my best professional guess would be that you will be negative on a Hair 5 Drug Panel hair test.
Thank you very much and I am praying that will hold up
Hey Tommy, so did you end up passing the test?
I've been taking methamphetamine for about 3 months. Would this show up on a hair test or not? I haven't taken any in a week now. What is considered regular use?
Regular use would be considered about 2 times per week. That is about the amount that could possibly be picked up by a hair drug test. It also depends on how strong the methamphetamine was. My best professional guess would be that you would be positive on Hair 5 Drug Panel. But you could always do your own Anonymous Hair 5 Drug Panel test which does not require a social security number or name on the chain of custody. A 1.5 inch sample would go back 90 days.
My husband took around 1 gram of methamphetamine in March 2016, and he has a hair follicle test tomorrow. Can he pass this? They said it goes back 6 months but all workers he knows there presently says 90 days. He is not a frequent user. He just had it that one time.
The hair 5 drug panel test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. He would have to have 3 inches of hair to be tested back 6 months. Usually an employer doesn't want to pay the extra cost for a 6 month test. It looks like he might be OK if they just do a 3 month test but if they do a 6 month test he might have some trouble passing that hair drug test.
I take light doses of methamphetamine... in the last 90 days I had methamphetamine about 3 times. The last time was about a month ago. I sweat a lot from working outside. I had a hair follicle drug test and I'm really worried. I need this job. I just purchased zydot ultra clean shampoo. I followed the steps right and did everything right.
Most of the shampoos work on the outside of the hair whereas the drug is in the shaft so the shampoos have very limited success. If you only took a small amount of methamphetamine in the last 3 months you might get lucky and be negative. But who's to say what a light dose is/was.
I need to test for probation for methamphetamine but I took some the day prior and I want to come out clean. Will I pass?
Can Methamphetamine come up in a hair follicle test if you've been clean 70 days?
